 Unwearable, and I loved my 991 July 12, 2010
D. Levy (NY USA)

I'll start by saying that the 991 was the most comfortable shoe I'd ever worn. Based on that experience I decided to go for the 993. Big mistake. I first noticed that the arch seemed low, which was a little uncomfortable but I figured I just needed to break them in. Well, after developing shin splints from a day of walking in them, I looked side by side at the insides of both the 991 and 993, discovering a significant change in the shape of the footbed(not just in the materials, which is what the company claims.) I've decided that these shoes are unwearable. Still longing for the feel of my 991, I tried on various New Balance shoes. They all seem to have this new shape with a very low arch that graciously invites all sorts of injuries and pains.
You might think that this is just me, but about a year ago, a friend who was wearing the 993 noticed my 991 and said that he wished he still had his 991, that the newer shoe really sucked. I wish I'd listened to him. In the meantime, my search for a good all around sneaker continues...
The Best Running Shoe I Have EVER Owned! July 8, 2010

I have used New Balance running shoes in the past and have found that all of their shoes are easily five star shoes. Switching between ASICS and NB I can finally say that the 993 is the absolute best running shoe I have ever purchased hands down. I was skeptical before buying based on all of the near perfect reviews thinking that it was too good to be true but I can say that the 993 is worth all the praise it gets here on Amazon. The shoe feels great from the moment I tried it on. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and these shoes are the best cure so far. Also the fact that the NB 993 is made in the USA really makes me feel good that I have supported a great American made product that easily outweighs the foreign made competition. Buy the NB 993 if you are looking for the best running shoe that money can buy!

I picked up these shoes to replace an old pair of Adidas runners... first thing I noticed was the price. After that I noticed the weight. Then I noticed the mediocre styling. But then I took them out for a run, and they were great. I'm a bigger dude at about 205lbs. The shoes provide plenty of support and cushion for pounding the pavement. I also own a pair of The North Face Fire Road runners, and the comfort level of the NB993's didn't quite match TNFFR out of the box. The stiffness and support on the NB993 is enough that I think you could take it running down some light to moderate trails without any problems. The weight of the shoes means you don't feel light on your feet on trails where footwork counts, and of course lots of rock will shred the foam. Construction seems better on the NB993 than my old Adidas or TNFFR shoes, and I think long term durability will be acceptable. NB993's are true to size as far as I can tell. The look of the shoe is such that I wouldn't feel weird throwing a pair of jeans on with them.
Nothing but New Balance June 20, 2010

Back in '83, I was T-Boned by a Semi. I acquired Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Ouch. It's a nasty, neurological disorder that spreads, to the entire body. And, it did.
No shoe was comfy. I saw an ad for (at the time) the top of the line N/B sneaker, at my doctor's office. I liked what I saw and got a pair. They lasted a long time.
I have tried other running/walking/hiking shoes all the time, but ALWAYS kept a pair of N/B top line (990+, to 1000+) along with others. Always, always, always, go back to the N/Balance, even if they're worn, they're great slippers.
They have NEVER let me down, and I love the 'Made in the USA' logo on them.
I tried, nike's and took them back the next day. I'm in extensive and elusive physical pain, always. But, I must (because of business ownership) hike up and down
mountainess terrain.
These shoes make me comfortable as can be.
So, I hope my review has helped, but these shoes make me feel great on a couple of levels.
(I have great difficulty buying a pair of shoes, from a maker, who's bottom line is held up by 'slave labor', youngsters, who can't even afford a pair of the
shoes they're 'assembling'! How then, could you?)
Not to guilt you, haha!
C'mon, wise up, and buy for Value, not price!
Any 'Made in USA' New Balance, are the best for you, and our country!
